EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 492. A, 103 Rowing; B, 96 Rowing" captures the essence of early motion picture sequences through a unique collotype printing technique. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885, this image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion". The photograph showcases a sequential study of movement featuring a nude male figure seated on a rowing machine. With an intense focus on the subject's side view, we witness the rower pulling back with great strength and determination as he engages in this exercise. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. Each frame within this print captures a distinct moment in time, offering us a glimpse into the fluidity of human movement. Beyond its technical significance, this photograph also explores themes such as sport, exercise, and nakedness. The raw vulnerability conveyed by the nude figure adds depth to our interpretation of this image. Currently housed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , USA. , this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document. It stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through photography while inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty found within human physicality.
